button in SafariHuang Gets a Narrow Escape
Michael Estes opened to 1,600 from middle position and he saw three callers. Jeffrey Hong called from the cutoff, Colin Huang called on the button, Edward Leonard called from the big blind.
The A♣7♥8♠ flop prompted action to check to Hong who bet 2,200. Huang called as did Leonard and Estes raised to 11,000. Hong mucked, Huang called and Leonard also got out of the way, sending players heads up to the 6♠ turn.
Estes checked to Huang who bet 12,000 and Estes made a quick call to see the 9♥ complete the board. Both snap-checked to showdown with Estes saying, "I have a straight," and he showed A♠5♦.
Huang responded "A straight? Oh my God," and he mucked his hand.
Estes continued by saying, "the turn doesn't come like that, I snap-fold."
Huang then replied, "I almost bombed it."
